Lil Big Screen: Juno Wins an Award in My Book

babysugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:00:32 -0800

I finally went to see the Golden Globe nominated movie Juno this weekend. Before entering the theater, I knew three things; it was a comedy with a great cast and the main character was a pregnant teenager.

Not only did I love the movie, but also the cast was outstanding. Break through actress Ellen Page made me fall in love with her character. I am bummed that the film didn't win Best Picture, but I didn't see all the movies that were nominated. To see more about my Junotastic experience, read more.

The film was comedic genius. My husband and I already want to see it again as we missed some dialogue due to the entire audience roaring in laughter. But at times we also had tears in our eyes and fluttering hearts.

I hadn't realized that adoption would be a focus in the film and loved how they handled the topic of teenage pregnancy. While Juno's parents were shocked and appalled at her becoming pregnant, as many would be, they were also supportive. And casting the adoptive mother, Jennifer Garner, in the light they did was especially endearing to me. Since I don't want to spoil the movie for you, I will just say that it made me proud to be a mother.

Leaving the film, I wondered how many kids would be able to do what Juno did. Some may say her decision was brave and others would argue it was stupid, but it made me wish that every unplanned pregnancy had a happy ending. Sadly, I know it was just a movie, but can't help but hope life would imitate art.

Do you think you could have pulled a Juno as a junior in high school?

Fab Flash: Writers' Strike Could Mean No Awards Red Carpet(!)

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 13:30:22 -0800

We already have less Gossip Girl episodes to look forward to than we should. Now, as we near the beginning of next year and awards season, the deadlocked writers' strike may be putting even more kinks in the works: red-carpet fashion might just be a thing of the past.

Writers are already set to picket the Golden Globes on Jan. 13, and the Oscars are soon after on Feb. 24. Hollywood insiders are predicting that this could be a red carpet-less awards season, because the writers expect actors to refuse to cross the picket lines.

Imagine a world without Reese's yellow Nina Ricci dress or Gwyneth's pink Ralph Lauren gown - what a sad, sad world indeed.

My Golden Globes Red Carpet Beauty A-List...And B-List

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 06:42:59 -0800

Here is my opinion on the 2007 Golden Globes Red Carpet beauty. Overall, I don't think that we had too many makeup monstrosities. However, there were those who looked like shining stars and those who missed the mark. Tell me if you agree with my A-List Lookers and B-List Losers.

A-List Lookers Drew Barrymore, Angelina Jolie and Eva Longoria win my votes for best red carpet beauty. They seemed to hit a grand slam in the makeup department. Here are my three favorite flawless faces:

Drew Barrymore has never looked better in my opinion. Her dress was beyond flattering and her soft, dewy makeup on her tanned skin made her glow. Considering her recent break up she certainly doesn't look the least bit shabby!

Although Angelina Jolie was acting strange, uninterested and aloof on the red carpet, she sure looked gorgeous, sophisticated and polished. Who knew she was the Grace Kelly chignon type? Her makeup was beautiful; I loved her sultry cat eyes and neutral lips.

Eva Longoria looked especially smashing. Get a load of her amazing skin! She really knows how to play up her best features. Her lashes were long and lush and I loved that smidgen of sparkle on the inside of her eyes. Perfecto Eva!

While I don't think any of these ladies look dreadful, I feel they missed the mark on reaching their potential. Here is my ranking of the top three B-List Losers.

Sienna Miller just looked way too plain Jane for my taste. While she is youthful and gorgeous, she really crosses the line between natural looking and completely bare. A little powder please, Sienna!

Vanessa Williams just looked botched to me. Everything about this beauty is suspect here. The hair was a big YIKES and the makeup was a NO NO. You would have thought after all of her pageant work, she'd have it down by now!

Patricia Arquette had great looking hair, but her makeup just didn't bring out her best features. It hid her eyes and her face looked too pink. This look did nothing special for her cheekbones or lips whatsoever. Blah!

BellaSugar — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 14:37:47 -0800

Does FabSugar know how to call it or what? Two weeks ago we spotted a runway style for Spring we called Loose Waves & Center Parts that we knew was going to be red carpet hot! Since so many stars were already sporting this beautiful and breezy style we figured this is one hairdo that is here to stay.

Just look at all of the ladies who opted for loose waves and center parts at the 2007 Golden Globe Awards. There was Evangeline Lilly, Jennifer Hudson, Sheryl Crow, Jennifer Garner, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Salma Hayek, Sarah Paulson and Gillian Anderson.

The Golden Globes Red Carpet: The Ballet Bun

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 15:40:56 -0800

Stars like Chloe Sevigny, Svetlana Metinka, and Jada Pinkett Smith chose a classic and subdued ballet bun hairstyle for the Golden Globes last night. This simple hair look shows off their flawless makeup, gorgeous jewelry and fabulous dresses.

Not only will this look elongate your face and neck, but it will also keep you feeling neat and fuss free throughout the affair. It gives you one less thing to have to worry about. Hairstylist Campbell McAuley was responsible for creating the effortless look on Chloe Sevigny last night.

To read more about how to get this look at home, read more

Start off by brushing your hair so that it is smooth and tangle-free and add a drop of Fekkai Glossing Cream, $19.50, to add shine to your hair.
Next, pull your hair back neatly into a ponytail at the back of the head or higher and secure it with a hair elastic. If you want a middle part, now is the time to determine that and brush hair back around the part. Also keep in mind where you would like the bun to be placed on your head. Wherever you make your pony, your bun will go.
Twist your ponytail as you wrap it around your hair elastic so that you make a coiled circular bun. Next, apply pins to keep the wrap in place. You will want to use about 12 pins per bun. Then, rub a little bit of Fekkai Technician Color-Protecting Glaze, $20, in between your fingers and gently apply it to your hair. This acts as a light gel and will hold your hair in place.
To finish, mist hair lightly with a gentle hold hairspray to eliminate any wisps. I like, Fekkai Sheer Hold Hair Spray, $23.
